    8/25 for me please Shaggydoo.

    This month is going to be tight, 22nd wedding anniversary on Wednesday. Perhaps I can stay AF for the day.
    I really love waking up the day after being AF, I feel so clear headed.

    Hope you are OK HB, not like you not to keep up with posting.:A


    It was my birthday yesterday but as it was a weekend it was a planned drinking day anyway. Nothing excessive, but I had a good time.


    No drinking planned today but I am out tomorrow for a meal with friends and then away for a week's holiday. I've done much better than I expected at this point so I'll get to target and more when I get back.


    9 AFDs please Shaggy.
